The Los Angeles and Orange County Sections of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America have an event coming up. On Saturday, October 23rd, we’re going to Irvine Cars and Coffee and then we’re getting a private tour of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center. It's all free. If you’re not a member, you can go anyway.

If you want to show your car, you'll have to be at Cars and Coffee at 6:30 AM. Those who are coming to look will arrive between 7:30 and 8:00. At 9:00 AM we will head over to the Classic Center.

The Classic Center tour will begin at 10 AM, and continue until noon. Guests may bring a camera. Also, many parts are marked down for clearance, but you will have to show your MBCA membership card for parts discounts. Here’s a link to a site with details. Addresses, maps, times . . . it's all at the website. Please e-mail Tina Wright to RSVP. Her email addy is Tina.Wright@la-mbca.com

 

I'll see if I can make it to the tour. 6:30 is a little too early on a Saturday, lol.

 

For those who couldn't make it . . . . . .


Yes, those are real, 582 HP, CLK DTM AMGs. One coupe, one cab.
Or as they said on a Seinfeld episode, "they're real, and they're spectacular" and yes, Seinfeld's six liter, wide bodied W210 is still there.

Photos from the event can be seen here, here, and here.

 

That cab looks sweet. Probably still the world's fastest four seat convertible.
